Did anyone notice the mark iii for $1650: Is this for real?

Yeah, I saw this too - sent him an email asking a question and never got a response... obviously something was up with it. It was removed twice today and is now removed again.

Bought one around Christmas and absolutely love it. Just found one at W----rt for around $300. Cheapest I've found since, even cheaper than ebay. Good luck.

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.

This model is an improvement to the SDR-H18 and is still priced comparatively. I think Amazon.com made a mistake. It is listed on Bestbuy.com as a ccd.

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

I would go to Ebay to look at a picture. Even if you look at the new EOS-1D X, the basic look is the same excepting the buttons and re-alignment of dials and buttons. But, the basic body is still very much the same. Better yet, B&H; still has a pic of it because the have one for sale for $649 @ 8+. It was a great camera at the time, but a 5D or later version is a better camera with a full frame sensor which the Mark II N did not have.Yes, I bought mine new from Amazon, at the time.

I miss the days when the LX3 was only $399 or $419. It is now (absurdly enough) ballooned to $749 on Amazon, roughly $300 more than the G10.

Who knows about rumors? My guess is ~ a year or so, and a D700 variant may be added to the mix, rather than replacing the D700.If a high MPx sensor [D3x variant] is added as a D700x, then this would be an additional, more expensive $4-5k model. If the D3s sensor is swapped in, then ??? Such a swap will not happen soon, lest Nikon loose too many D3s sales IMO.There are _some_ deals available that give some savings with a combo purchase ...

just picked up the iM600 for 60$+free ship...better than waiting for a newer model w/ a higher tag

It is legit. Not sure how they got the bundle at a lower price (it was < $700 two days ago). Just received mine a couple of days ago. Looked over it with a fine toothed comb and can't find anything wrong with it. All of the stuff in the bundle comes from one company (Chromacast) not sure if that might be a clue. Mine did not come with a ESP / LTD manual, which would have been nice to have, but it is on their web site.

Amazon has a long history of outrageous MSRPs on Canon products and thereby presenting rediculous discount %s. I understand about listings being confused with foriegn currencies, etc, but ya think ya might take a quick look at the Canon website to see if you're even close? The 580 EX II is not new to the Canon product line nor is it an upgrade. I will again point out this oversight by Amazon to Amazon and probably receive the usual obigatory lame excuse. It's annoying, misleading and somehow amazing that this particular type of frequent mistake never appears to hit lower than the correct MSRP!

the 1550 is not from Amazon itself, but another vendor.I got mine for 1650, and would only buy from amazon for something of this value, as I pretty much trust them for business these last 7 years without one single problem, but no xyz vendor! $1650 is still a great deal, because Best Buy is about 1899 and so was Frys, 1899. And no tax! Great deal, don't look back! Enjoy!

Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s. It seems to have been raised over night.I'm not in marketing, but it seems to me they adjusted the 630's price in order to make the 650 appear as if it is a good deal. Which don't get me wrong. $1550 is a great price for this TV based on other suppliers. However, it's illogical that they are raising the price unless they are simply trying to make more money or are getting low on stock. Either way, like you Stratixman, I won't buy it from amazon at this price. I had planned to use amazon but if they don't lower it back to where it was a week ago, I'll be using newegg. I'll give it a couple days but after that, newegg will have my business. Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...!

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.
